Paul Krugman writes for The New York Times: "When George W. Bush first ran for the White House, political reporters assured us that he came across as a reasonable, moderate guy. Yet those of us who looked at his policy proposals - big tax cuts for the rich and Social Security privatization - had a very different impression. And we were right. The moral is that it's important to take a hard look at what candidates say about policy."

J. Sri Raman discusses the relevance of the new autobiography of India's far-right leader, Lal Krishna Advani: "These excerpts from Advani's just-published autobiography, 'My Country, My Life,' are of interest not just as evidence of the lead the far right took in forging the US-India 'strategic partnership,' of which so much is spoken and heard these days. The section of the book dealing with this subject is important, also, as an indication of the direction India's foreign policy can take in a not-too-distant future, if there is an upswing in the far right's political fortunes."

Does McCain’s vision look like an emerging world government? It is certainly a variation of “global governance,” which is the proposal that former Clinton State Department official Strobe Talbott makes in his book, The Great Experiment. Talbott calls McCain a “pragmatist” in foreign affairs, just like Obama and Hillary, and says that he expects his liberal Brookings Institution to have influence over a McCain presidency.........
